Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Beautiful gardens & grounds. Friendly & helpful staff. Great drinks at Nui Nui, the tiki bar above the pool. Room was large and comfortable; however, the bed pillows were ready to be replaced. I was looking forward to enjoying some time in the pool, but I was disappointed to find the pool really crowded due to swimming lessons. Overall, it was a nice stay and I liked how McMenamins repurposed an old school and created a unique experience for guests that included local history and fun artwork throughout hotel & restaurants.

It’s ok

Really cool place. Kind of a destination hotel. Front desk staff was super. Would have given better review but service at the restaurants was horrid. Started at NuiNui and left after 15 minutes of absolutely no service. Went to the Woodshed and was getting ready to leave when I was finally acknowledged. Food was fine but nothing to write home about

Great stay for couples.

The Anderson School is a great location. Beautiful garden area to just sit, enjoy a beverage or meal. The pool is very nice too. Love the tiki bar!! Always enjoy our stays at the McMenamins locations.

We love the vibe of Anderson School! It feels like you are nestled away in a quiet spot even though main streets border the property. Lots of restaurant/entertainment options and friendly, responsive staff. We'll be back!

The second time I've stayed at this hotel. I picked the hotel because my kid likes the movie and the swimming pool. Because summer, the hotel has an old smell and the rooms feel stuffy. I hope to open the window, but it is not openable. I had a hard time sleeping, but all the kid-friendly features are good.

The bars and restaurants are great. Good food and staff are very friendly. Whimsical deco thru out is fun and interesting. Rooms are unimpressive. Dimly lit, so they provide a flashlight?. Pedestal sinks in bathrooms, so not much space for toiletries, makeup, etc. Shower head had poor water flow, but enough to get job done. Coffee they provided was good first day, but weak the next.

Our entire stay was excellent, except it took 2 days for the A/C to cool the room to a satisfactory level. Service, cleanliness, and food and drinks were outstanding. Live music was an unexpected bonus.
